Hello everyone! I've got a new story for all of you! It's a crossover with Tadashii Kodomo no Tsukurikata! so if you haven't read it yet I'd highly recommend it. It's a good manga that's worth the time in my opinion.
(Marshalanime does not own Naruto or Tadashii Kodomo no Tsukurikata!)
Looking at himself in the mirror, an arguably handsome, shirtless teen with deep blue almond shaped eye, a head of spiky golden blond hair, three whisker like marks on each of his cheeks, and possessing a well built but not overly muscular body was busying himself with wrapping up his right forearm. Despite it being early in the morning and many people were undoubtedly just waking up the blond teen had been up for quite some time. Long before the morning sun rose over the horizon he'd been out past the city's outskirts training and honing his body and skills.
Finished with the wrapping, the boy examined it. It wasn't the best job but hay, he wasn't a medic. If the bandages come off then he'll just have to pay Tokitou-sensei a visit. The woman hadn't been working at the school for long but she was far more willing to speak with Naruto than the nurse that had retired recently.
Content with his handiwork the blond reached for the the small container of what looked like small chew-able vitamins next to the sink, put the remaining bandages back in the medicine cabinet and went to leave the room, grabbing his clean school uniform before he shut the door.
Exiting his house and locking the door behind him the teen started to make his usual trip towards the nearby school. "Hey, Naruto!" the blond teen heard from behind him, yep, another usual trip to school. Turning around to look at the pinket shouting from the neighboring house's second floor window, the girl who was still in her pajamas added "Why are you going to school alone again?". "I'm coming down now, so just wait there, okay?" the pinket told the boy as she pointed at him from her window.
It was a typical morning for the two, Naruto'd wake up before her for one reason or another and then get yelled at by his old friend for leaving without her. With a small smile Naruto watched the girl bring her head back into her room in a rush to get ready as he went to lean up against one of the walls separating a building from the street.
After a while the sound of a gate opening and closing could be heard. "Sorry to make you wait!" the pinket apologized as she ran from her front gate to her blond friend. Stopping by his side, "So, let's go!" the girl said with a warm expression directed at the boy.
"You know," Naruto started as he pushed himself off the wall, "if you'd wake up earlier then we'd be able to go to school together each day without any problems".
Seeing the blond start to walk along the pinket quickly sped up till she was beside him once more. "But waking up this early is already hard enough" the girl said as she leaned forward a bit and looked up at the blond's face.
Naruto, for all the will power he had, couldn't help but smi8le and shake his head at the girl's antics. The two had met way back when they were just little kids and in all honesty not much has changed between them in all these years. Kyouko was one of his oldest and closest friends.
"Naruto!" Kyouko suddenly called out, grabbing hold of his right arm with a stern look on her face. Here we go again. "You got hurt again! You need to take better care of yourself!" the pinket told him as she pulled his sleeve back revealing the new bandages. One of the few things that seemed to have changed between the two was Kyouko's ability to tell when he'd gotten injured. The concern she had for him was all well and good, he even appreciated it greatly, it was just.
"It was just an accident" Naruto told her as he pulled his arm back. "I was cooking last night and nicked my arm while chopping up the vegetables" Naruto told her as he pulled his sleeve back into place. He felt guilty for lying to her, even more so when he looked at her concerned expression, but what could he do? It's not like he wanted to lie to her but he'd just look crazy if he explained everything to her now.
It wasn't such a big issue when they were young, he'd tell her all about his world and his dream of becoming a shinobi and she had always said he had a big imagination and play it off like it was all made up. As the years went on however the truth seemed more and more childish and he simply stopped telling her about it. He'd considered proving it by showing her his world many times but then he would fret over what could happen if he dragged her into his other life. Just look at what's happened to him already, how many times has his life been put in danger?
Maybe he's over thinking it? It's not like she'd be sent out on missions, ans civilians live relatively safe lives. But even if she'd be safe, what if she worried herself sick knowing what his profession involved. He, he just wanted to keep her save no matter what. She was one of, if not, the most important person in his life. Just thinking Kyouko not being there any more terrified him.
"You get hurt too much" Kyouko told him, her stern look slowly being replaced by one of pure concern for her dear friend.
With another pain of guilt Naruto threw on a smirk as he flexed his arm. "Don't worry. Even if I get hurt it just means my body will be that much stronger the next time" the blond said, playing the injury off as nothing.
Seeing her friend act like he normally would when she points out a new cut, bandage, bruise, or scrape Kyouko let out a sigh as she turned her head forward. "It's the fact you're expecting a 'next time' that worries me so much" the pinket told him.
If he could avoid it he would, but he inherited an annoying little trait from his mother that made it hard. While in this world his strength and chakra would come and go at random intervals and far to often this trait would pop it's ugly head up in the middle of training and result in another deep cut or broken bone. It helped his training in the long run but this genetic trait that was unique to him and his late mother went as far to affect his healing. Meaning that he could be fully healed by the end of school if he was lucky or he'd have to wait like everyone else as his wound takes it's time to heal if his luck ran out.
The rest of their walk went by without anything out of the ordinary and it wasn't long before they got to school. Entering their classroom the other students rushed over to greet the pinket and a few of them even asked her for help with their homework. Naruto would every now and then join in with the morning conversations, but it was more common for him to simply take his seat near the back and next to the window especially when he was hurt. One of the students would, without fail, point out his more obvious wounds when he had them and the conversation from before would always get derailed as they bombarded him with questions. He didn't even want to know what sort of rumors people were spreading about him.
Watching everyone upfront, particularly Kyouko, Naruto started to drift into his own thoughts. 'Maybe I should have skipped out on high school all together. I probably could get away with telling her that I couldn't pass the entrance exams' Naruto thought to himself before letting out a soft sigh and shaking his head. 'No, then she'd just worry that I'd never get a decent job. She might have even tried tutoring me so that I wouldn't fail the exam next year' as he thought about this and image of them alone in his room popped into his head. The thought of spending hours at a time together, the pinket leaning over his shoulder and helping him with anything he didn't understand as she would every now and then brush up against him-AGH!
What the hell was he thinking this time. Leaning over his desk Naruto ran a hand through his hair as pushed the daydream away. No matter what he felt about the girl crossing that line between friends and couple just wasn't for them. How could it work out when they were literally from two different worlds. Maybe, huh?
Reaching into his desk Naruto was surprised when he spotted a letter sitting on top of his text books. 'Why is this here?' Naruto wondered to himself, very much tempted to open the envelope right there and then. The front didn't have a name on it and flipping it over revealed that the only odd ting about the thing was a heart shaped sticker helping to keep it closed. Guess that rolls out a rite of challenge, unless it was just a really weird one.
It's probably a love letter. Man, how long has it been since he'd gotten one of these? Was it the second year of middle school? No, there was that one halfway through the next year. He hated getting these, it just meant he'd have to reject someone's feelings again. Though it didn't stop a blush from forming as butterflies started dancing around in his stomach. Damn it! He just wasn't open to the normal relationship these girls always expected.
Though, at least a love letter felt a million times better than the harem candidates that the elders would periodically pick out for him. At lest this wouldn't just be about having kids with 'the best the village could offer'. He'd met with one of these 'best candidates' before. She treated the whole situation like they were negotiating and didn't even consider making an emotional connection with the possible father of her children.
Naruto was about to get up and head off somewhere prying eyes wouldn't so he could read the letter, but halted himself as the teacher came into the room. Well this is going to eat away at his mind now.
Nurse's room
"Tokitou-sensei, you here?" Naruto asked, announcing his presence as he slid open the infirmary's door. A woman, who probably should have been more surprised than she was turned from what was in front of her to the blond that just came in. She was truly a beauty, not on the level of a model but pretty damn close. She had relatively short black that seemed to be cut in a way that the hair was shorter at the bottom and grew longer as it moved to the top of her head. Her long bangs parted on the left side and fanned out in opposite directions with a bit of stray hair hanging down around her right eye and nose. Just under and off to the side of her left eye was a small beauty mark. While her lower body was currently hidden under her desk, Naruto knew the woman had rather long legs that went perfectly with her curvaceous body and her gifted bosom pressed nicely against her dress shirt and open lab coat.
"It's the middle of first period. Don't tell me you skipped class just to come see me" Tokitou playfully joked with the blond as she rested her chin on her propped up interlocked hands. It was odd but that smile she had right now, the one she always showed him confused him. It was as if it wasn't fully true, that she was hiding something under it. He figured it was one of those 'everyone has something to hide' situations and never pried into her personal live more than he should. Besides, it wasn't like he ever felt he was ever in any danger around the woman.
Folding his arms behind his head Naruto walked over to one of the empty beds. "The lesson was boring anyway" the blond said as he sat down and then leaned back on the thin mattress.
"Naruto" the woman started, switching over to a more lecturing tone as she did. "You can't just skip class like this. Who are you going to find a nice girl if you fall behind your class mates?" Tokitou questioned the boy. If you can't get through to a student with logic then attack through his hormones.
"I don't think that'll be a problem" Naruto told her as he fished around in his pocket. Even if he stayed in class his mind wouldn't let him focus until he found out just what this dam letter said.
"Oh" the nurse perked up considerably once she say him pull out the envelope. Guess she wasn't going to lecture him anymore. "Is that what I think it is?" Tokitou asked the boy with a sly smile. She always seemed so interested in hearing about him, his plans, what he was doing, maybe she was just interested in gossip.
"Probably" Naruto told her as he unfolded the letter and started reading it.
"What are you going to do about it?" the woman asked with a big smile as she intently watched the blond read the letter as he laid flat on his back.
Letting out a sigh Naruto looked from the short letter to the nurse that was so interested in hi love life. "I'll turn her down like always" Naruto told her. Clearly it wasn't exactly the response Tokitou was expecting, her body jerking in surprise as she looked at the blond with a mixture of shock and confusion.
"What!? Why!?" the woman quickly asked. Wasn't very high school boy suppose to jump with joy when ever a girl took interest in him? Sure, Naruto wasn't the typical high school student but still!
Jolting into a sitting position, Naruto started to refold the letter and put it back into it's envelope as he responded to the woman, "I'm just not looking for a relationship right now". "It's, ah, complicated" Naruto went on to add as he turned to face the woman.
"I-Is that so?" Tokitou asked with a strained smile. Pulling herself together again, Tokitou then suggested that if it was so complicated then he could always talk about it with her. Perhaps she could help him figure it out?
"No, I'm fine" Naruto told her as he started walking for the door. It wasn't something he wanted to talk about with her. He doubted she'd believe his story anyway. "I'll be going back to class then" Naruto told her as he slid the door open to leave.
Before he closed the door again he heard the woman tell him "Try to give this one a shot, okay?".
After school
'This is it' Naruto thought to himself as he stood in front of the science room. As he stood there he tried to put a face to the letter's signature. He couldn't recall hearing anything about a Yajima in class two. Then again he probably would be able to name some of the students in his own class. Maybe he should start being more sociable?
Cracking open the door as to make as little noise as possible Naruto hoped to catch a glimpse of Yajima before she noticed him. The girl was actually pretty cute with long purple hair. She stood in the middle of the room patiently, a small blush on her cheeks as she held her hands over her hearts and, sizeable bust.
Taking notice of the blond Yajima jerked towards his direction. "Uzumaki? Thank goodness, I thought you wouldn't come" the relieved girl admitted as Naruto walked into the room.
'It wouldn't be right if I didn't at least show up' Naruto thought to himself as the girl started to stutter and hesitate with her words. It was probably her first time confessing, great. Maybe he should just say it before this goes on any further. Wait, why is she removing her bow-tie? "I wanna give birth to Uzumaki's children" Yajima told him, looking to the side out of embarrassment as she undid her uniform and revealing her lacy bra and panties as her shirt and jacket slid down her arms and her skirt slipped off her waist.
'This is a first! Definitely a first!' Naruto shouted in his head as his face turned bright red and he backed up a few steps, only stopping when he backed into a counter a few steps behind him. "C-Children!? What are you talking about!?" Naruto asked the girl as she approached him. Yajima's arm was under her now bare chest and pushed up her breasts as she leaned over slightly to give the blond an even better look.
"Hey, it's okay right?" the girl asked as she stood in front of the blond, moving her arms up to hold onto the blond's shoulders and pressing her chest against his.
'Not good! Not good!' Naruto thought to himself as he felt his body reacting to the stimulus like any normal guy's would.
"Okay, stop right there" Naruto heard someone say fro behind him before the girl practicality hanging off of him was electrocuted into unconsciousness.
"W-What the hell?" Naruto asked aloud as he watched the purple haired girl collapse in front of him. Seeing a guy with perfectly messy white hair enter his sight and crouch down to inspect he girl so casually answered the 'who did it', now he'd like to know why. "Hey! What the hell did you do to her!?" Naruto asked the teen. If this was all some sort of set up then it was pretty messed up.
Looking over his shoulder as he stood back up the guy asked "You're Naruto Uzumaki, right?". With one hand in his pocket as his other ran through his white hair the guy continued before Naruto answered him, "My name is Raito. I came from the future to save humanity".
Staring at the guy like he was crazy after being told something like that so seriously came of as a bit hypercritically for the universe hoping blond, but how else was he suppose to react to that? "Future, riiiiight" Naruto responded.
"You don't believe me?" Raito asked the blond. "Yeah, well, it's kinda unbelievable but" the guy started before getting in Naruto's face. "Because you picked the wrong partner to make children the future has been in a big problem" Raito said with a rather intimidating expression.
"Children?" Naruto asked the guy with a raised eyebrow as Raito took a step back. Why does everything lately always come back to him having kids?
"Do you know this girl?" Raito asked as he held up his hand and a holographic screen popped up with a profile of Kyouko on it.
"That's, Kyouko" Naruto said with widened eyes, more at the screen itself than the image. 'Maybe this guy really is from the future' Naruto thought to himself as he waved his hand through the intangible screen.
"Right, she's Kyouko Takane. You two must become married" Raito told the blond.
"Eh? Come again?" Naruto asked as he glanced up from the screen to the guy controlling it.
"If you don't the world will be under a virus pandemic, killing all of humanity" the guy told him as a dozen or so more screens popped into existence, each one showing images of the destruction this virus with inflict on the human race.
"Okay" Naruto began as his eyes darted back and forth between the different screens. "This virus is bad. How does that relate to me having kids?" the blond asked the guy as the screens vanished.
"Inside you, lies genes. Those genes will undergo a mutation and incite the creation of a certain virus" Raito started to explain as he brought up a new screen with images to go along with what he was saying. "That mutation will be inherited be your children, and from then on, it'll develop into the virus that'll wipe out humanity. The virus of death" the guy told Naruto.
Staring at the screen intently with his arms folded and thinking about the information he'd just received, yeah, he was a bit confused. Though he did have a few questions, the first on his mind involved a particular pinket. "If my genes result in this virus, then why is it necessary for me to marry Kyouko?" Naruto asked the guy.
A reasonable question, "If you make children with an average girl, they'll inherit the mutation and humanity's all over. But, if you only bear children with Kyouko Takane, the mutation wont be inherited and humanity will be saved" the white haired teen explained. "Well, you two are a special combination. Unique in this world" the guy went on to simplified his previous explanation.
'Me, and Kyouko have to get married?' Naruto thought to himself, his face turning red as he pictured the pinket in a wedding dress. His excitement soon came to a halt however as something occurred to him. "If you had to come back to stop the virus, then that means that Kyouko and I-" Naruto was saying when Raito finished his thought for him.
"Correct, the Kyouko isn't your original marriage partner" Raito said, and with that he went on to explain what the future that had, was going to happen entailed. "After you got married the future, the virus pandemic has spread. Thirty percent of the human population has been infected, city operations have stopped, and revolt and robbery are everywhere. Those you avoid the infected close down their shelters, and no one wants to go outside without protective clothing. That future, is what's suppose to happen" Raito told the blond.
'That's, all suppose to happen because of me?' Naruto thought to himself as his expression darkened slightly. Damn it! How could he have possibly known something like that could even happen?
"Based on the way you looked, I can tell that you're in love with her" Raito started, referring to the way Naruto reacted when he told him he'd have to have children with Kyouko.
'The hell!? Was it really that obvious?' Naruto wondered to himself after hearing the guy say that. He was sure that he kept that pretty well hidden.
"But you can't marry her" Raito said, referring to the fact that his future exists in the first place. "If, for example, she really hates you that's a really big obstacle!" the guy proposed, getting an unnerved expression from the blond.
'That's hardly the reason' Naruto thought to himself. After all, he was the one refusing to make any moves, or at least he hoped she didn't hate him. "You say that, but telling me to have kids with Kyouko and actually having kids with her are two different things" Naruto told the guy.
Grinning widely, "Why do you think I came to this era? To change the supposed future, it's my job to make sure that you can make children with Kyouko Takane!" Raito declared with his arms thrown out.
'Well, it's not the worst thing I've ever heard' Naruto thought to himself with a small, giddy smile as his cheeks heated up at the thought of him and Kyouko together.
"Oh, Naruto?" the blond heard the pinket's voice ring out behind him and nearly making him jump in surprise. "What are you doing, here? Eh?" the girl was asking, her warm smile turning into a stunned, wide eyed expression as she took in the sight of Naruto and Raito standing over a nearly naked and unconscious girl.
Oh right, Naruto had completely forgotten about her in all of this. "W-What did you do Naruto?" Kyouko questioned the blond as she started to whack him with her school bag while he tried to reason with her and come up with some sort of believable excuse for this situation. The whole saving humanity thing doesn't seem to be off on a good start.
